Arrepentida.
Orlando Contreras
Remorseful
One day you walked away from my side
without giving me the comfort of a goodbye.
My faith, my heart, my whole life
I found it lost when I realized I was without your love.
When I confirmed that your love was not mine
I was tempted to die or go crazy.
And even though you plunged my soul into an abyss
Drowning my selfishness, I never looked for you.
The loneliness that enveloped me
was terrible and deadly.
I, I wanted to forget about your love
and I couldn't.
While my reason condemned you mercilessly
my soul, poor soul, forgave your wickedness
and trusted that you would come back
seeking my noble love once again.
Today I know you are alone and defeated
Hiding a sorrow in your life
You cry remorseful with shame
as your conscience reproaches you for my suffering.
I know that the memory of my love haunts you,
I know you lack the courage to return.
With open arms, I wait for you, come because I love you,
just as much as yesterday.
While my reason condemned you mercilessly
My soul, poor soul, forgave your wickedness
and trusted that you would come back
seeking my noble love.
Come because I love you
Just as much as yesterday.
